Funding Increase

Creating more student spaces

Effective immediately, the Government of Alberta is increasing post-secondary funding in Campus Alberta by $50 million.

This funding is designed to help Alberta's publicly-funded institutions address specific enrolment pressures and help ensure more students get the education they need.

The money is being awarded as a 2.6 per cent increase of the Campus Alberta grant for the 20 institutions that saw a budget reduction in Budget 2013.

Investment in students remains a top priority for Government and increasing enrolment was a continuing issue for many post-secondary institutions. Each institution will maintain a focus on putting students first and using the money where it will have the greatest impact – the classroom. Each institution will determine what programs will see increased funding.

In real terms it will allow our post-secondary institutions to continue providing the next generation of Albertans with the education and training they need to keep our economy running at full speed.
